Touring Literary London

We had another walking tour through London today, but, this time, the focus was entirely on British literature.  We saw the stomping grounds of Dickens, Keats, and Shakespeare.  The day also included a picnic and afternoon break  in the shadow of the Tate museum and the Millennium Bridge.  We ended the day with a performance of “As You Like It” at the world famous Globe Theatre.  The theatre provided fabulous paper hats for the “groundlings” to keep out the sun.  Despite the fact that we stood for 2.5 hours, we loved the performance and seeing so many of the places that we studied earlier this summer in our Literary London class.
